Kagama 60 degrees, close enough to summer in MN.

Took the kids to the park, 3 battery packs through each car and they held up really well. Some minor damage in the end but well worth the $12.00 in parts.

Took the damage on the last hit, pretty large tree just outta frame.

Couldn’t pass up the weather.

Cheers everyone!

Definitely looks like a grand 'ol time!

I've been wanting to run for maybe the past month and a half, but things just haven't been working out for me.

Looked like brilliant weather for a bash!
How long did you spend searching for the spring and cup?

 

[CCB-MN]

lol, we got lucky, it sheered clean through the shock end just above the shaft.

The cup and spring stayed attached. The rest of the shock and arm were surprisingly fine.

New shock end and one new front steering block. I was tempted to toss in some aluminum blocks, however at $7 per block that’s a pretty cheap fix. I’m a little afraid that aluminum won’t break and will transfer that energy elsewhere causing too much stress on other components. For now I’ll stick with plastic.

I'm with you on that thinking. This is gonna sound rude, but it's always better to have your balls pop before you break an arm

Looks like good times brother!!
Love the songs too!
Also a fan of plastic vs aluminum hubs. While the aluminum will potentially provide better handling, I agree that damage just tranfers to something else that's usually more expensive or more work to replace.. stock up on the plastic bits and replace as necessary. In my experience the "new" upgraded front hubs from TC are plenty strong. I say new because my 21 XTR came with the old version, which did "pop balls" fairly easy by comparison.
